I finished Arthur's Knights: Tales of Chivalry and decided to load up Alice. Still on the old XP and the game is running fine. Problem here is I can't make alice pull some levers.

I am just starting this game and am in Beyond the Wall...about 4 chapters in, I think. Alice has entered an area with one lever on the top area and three levers on the bottom level. There is a locked door across an expanse.

No matter where I stand Alice will not pull any of the levers. I have been to the door and it will not open.

The Mad Hatter's bust is on a pedestal but I can't get up to it. Don't know if it does anything.

I played this twice in the past but it's been so many years ago that it's like playing it for the first time.

Hi Looney, I tried a search too but didn't have much luck. Your eyesight is better than mine, lol.

I have that computer off at the moment, but I would say that I do not have target lock enabled. I had a dickens of a time getting past some flying demon because I couldn't hit him. I will check that when I fire up the computer again. I assume that is under options.

Yipes, I only found a 'target reticle' with an X and when I unchecked and hit 'apply' then tried to get out I lost control of my pointer and had to manually turn off the computer.

I eventually got the game to behave but she still won't respond to 'enter' when I'm near the levers. I have stood back, looked down, tried all sides, stood on top of the levers, jumped on the levers, looked up, all while hitting 'enter'.

I did rebind my keys but 'use' is still listed as 'enter'. Guess I won't be able to play this one on XP. I'll have to save it for the old W98.

I have 100 old games, some that I never even played that I can try on the XP first.

I'm going to get rid of these game as I play them, except for a few favorites that I just can't let go....like Zanzarah and Tomb Raider

I have Traitor's Gate 2, which I never played, and I'm not sure why I traded for it. I didn't even like Traitor's Gate 1.

Did you pull that lone lever up above to hear the 3 musical notes? That must be done to cue the cutscene and for the 3 lower levers to work. And if you fail to get the puzzle correct I believe you need to go up and pull the upper lever again.

Hope that this helps.

Ok, I am sending everyone wet noodles so they can lash me with them. I am SO silly....and I'm embarrassed to say because you all went out of your way to help me. Is there any help for the idiots in the crowd?

Ok, Marian and Looney, it was the 'enter', as you both mentioned. I was hitting it and hitting it but I was wrong about the rebinding of the keys. I changed 'climb up' to 'F'. That also happens to be 'use'. I had rechecked it but skipped right over it. I see what I want to see, not what's there. I'm SO sorry
